As a South African and someone who's very familiar with white supremacy on a global scale i hate to break this to you brehs but Julius Malema is NOT and has never been no revolutionary.
Malema rose to prominence as an outspoken leader of the ANC Youth branch(mid 2000s), he was Instrumental in plotting against another white supremacist puppets President Thabo Mbeki(Mr Arms Deal) getting recalled from presidency and putting Jacob Zuma in "power". Once Zuma got into office he distanced himself from his "bulldog" Malema and eventually they expelled Malema from the ANC completely and he went to form the EFF.
The over the top "Black Power" unapologetic rhetoric he's been spewing for more than a decade now. EFF used shock value tactics to attract the youth and those frustrated by the white supremacist puppets in the ANC.
Julius Malema is and has always been yet another political opportunist who once in power would not fundamentally change the neo colonial set up of South Africa's economy. EFF doesn't even have a military wing.
People who think Malema is an African Malcolm X are probably the same people who think an agent like Farrakhan is some type of great leader.
This is not a criticism of Malema per se, but rather a caution of all black people to not be easily swayed by speeches and personnas.
Malema is Pedi, i went to college with a Pedi guy Thulo in 2010 that used to give me the scoop on all the fukkerry Malema and co were doing way back then in their home province of Polokwane.
If you're looking for real revolutionary leaders in South Africa Chris Hani, Robert Sobukwe etc were either exhiled or Killed. SA is a complete white owned country, from the natural resources to the minds of our people.
I will not be arguing with anyone over this coz I've been following these cats since 2005/6 when i was a teenager. I know their rhetoric all too well.
Every time Tariq Nasheed shouts out Malema me and my girl just burst out laughing.
Reading some of the comments here is just crazy. Someone said he's the "GOAT of the 21st century"...yeses!!
